OPINION : Another January and another CES rolls into town promising more technological innovation but what , you might possible be asking , could it have in store for TV and audio ?
If you read some of ourarticles over the festive periodthen you ’d have already gleaned some nuggets of what I consider 2025 will have in store , but I ’m going to practise down into a few more specific as to what ’s probable to be revealed atCES 2025 .
Another flagship Panasonic TV
I could copy and paste paragraphs from late years and plump down it into this segment and in all likelihood little will have changed . It ’s CES 2025 and Panasonic will denote its latest flagship OLED .
Still , 2024 marked a big modification in approach from Panasonic , deck its My home plate Screen port and choosing Amazon ’s Fire boob tube instead for theZ95A. This collapse customers plenty more pelt apps and wise feature , with the hope that it ’ll open up Panasonic ’s appeal to a more mainstream audience . It also result in a few Panasonic tellies being uncommitted in the US for the first sentence in year , but I wander .
I imagine that this new model will be call the Z95B , and that it ’ll boast LG Display’slatest MLA screentechnology that will encourage luminosity even further . It ’ll come with a Technics sound scheme bolt onto its back that ’s likely to be the estimable built - in sound scheme on any TV this yr ( and while I refer Technics , perhaps that ’s a company that might be showcasing something too ) .
There ’s a morsel to speculate over but Panasonic has mostly been doing the same affair for the last six years or so , and while theGZ2000was innovative back in its day , I ’m hop that Panasonic can do something new . It feel as if the television receiver market is withdraw incremental steps rather than big ones , and it ’d be decent to see a companionship such as Panasonic be a force for innovation as it was in the past .
AI will dominate TV announcements
I ’ve written about my mistrust on AI , not because it ca n’t be used as a force for good but that TV manufacturers have latched onto AI as a buzzword and rev up up the merchandising motorcar . The thing is , AI has been in television for a while , so it ’s nothing of necessity novel .
That wo n’t barricade the majority of TV brand bigging up AI technology . Samsung is a big advocate for it , and you may expect more from the party on that front ( let in some very interesting things that I ’m not permit to talk about yet ) . In a worldwide sense though let ’s say Samsung ’s picture quality will be powered by increasingly powerful neuronic networks ( as it has done these past several age ) and that I would n’t be surprised if sound recording bugger off an AI boost as well .
LG has also increase its use of AI with the technology that it launched in its2024 TVs . While AI was used for picture and sound performance , it was prevalent in the services that LG provide , such as its AI Chatbot help that could help work issue you have with the TV . bear more AI development on that front for its raw goggle box .
Sony will do something
I ’ll be reliable , I ’m not entirely sure what Sony is locomote to do for CES 2025 .
It ’ll probably be a focussing on video – Sony does n’t tend to do audio announcements at CES – and if I had to guess , I ’d speculate about the possibility of a newQD - OLEDthat could be called the Bravia 10 being harbinger . Aside from that however , I ’m scratching my patchy beard about what it could do .
presently its TV line - up kick the bucket toBravia 9 , and the only other models that have been announced have been the Bravia 8 and Bravia 7 , so Sony has peck of other numbers to occupy out
There will not be many audio announcements
CES used to be a hub for audio announcements but that has slowed down in recent twelvemonth . That ’s not to say that there are n’t audio product there – the Venetian Hotel is where you ’ll find the latest audio products from marque across the earth – but adult audio brands no longer announce flagship eccentric merchandise at the issue .
Instead , CES has come to be dominated by emerging tech in the last ten age ; streaming devices , smart helper , AI , and so on , and that ’s what you should expect as being the stress go forward . Even TVs on their own are n’t really a focussing , it ’s what ’s inside them that brands are concentrate on .
